SUMMARY:March to Defend Abortion Access: Chicago
DESCRIPTION:The Supreme Court has failed millions of Texans. In the dead of the night\, the Supreme Court turned its back on 50 years of precedent\, rendering Roe v. Wade effectively meaningless in the state.\nThis is unprecedented and we can not let it stand.\n* * * * * * * * * *\nJoin us and our partners in Chicago on Saturday\, October 2\, when we join more than 90 other organizations marching in all 50 states.\nRSVP now at bit.ly/DefendAbortionAccessCHI\n* * * * * * * * * *\nRight now\, abortion is virtually inaccessible for patients across Texas. The vast majority of people in Texas seeking an abortion are being denied care and patients are already being forced to travel to other states\, including Illinois\, to get the high-quality\, compassionate care they need — and deserve.\nThis Texas law sets a dangerous legal precedent and could clear a path for states to override people’s constitutional rights. If the courts let this bill stand we can expect to see similar bills introduced in states across the country. With nearly 600 restrictions introduced\, 2021 is already the worst year for state legislative attacks on abortion since Roe.\nThis is the loudest alarm yet that abortion rights are in grave danger\, in Texas and nationwide. And we\, alongside our partners\, are fighting back and we won’t back down. We will continue to fight this in the courts and we are taking to the streets.\nWe must fight city by city\, state by state\, to ensure that all people can still access the health care they need. We cannot allow the reality of Texas to become the reality of this country.\n* * * * * * * * * *\nWe are proud to partner with:\nChicago Abortion Fund\nChicago for Abortion Rights\nChicago NOW\nChicago Women Take Action\nEquality Illinois\nICAN!\nIndivisible Chicago\nIndivisible Illinois\nIndivisible Illinois Social Justice Alliance\nMen4Choice\nMidwest Access Project\nNeighbors Who Vote / IL VOTE\nPersonal PAC\nPlanned Parenthood of Illinois\nReproductive Transparency Now\nShe Votes Illinois\nThe Clinic Vest Project\nWomen Employed\nWomen’s March Chicago\nWomen’s March Illinois\n* * * * * * * * * *\nTAKE ACTION:\n– Join Planned Parenthood on Impactive: https://app.impactive.io/…/planned-parenthood-of…\n– Sign the petition: Text SB8 to 22422 or visit wearepp.org/SB8\n– Make a donation: Text “Texas” to 22422 or visit wearepp.org/Texas
